Well I broke down and decided to give focal a try. I ordered the copper nemmy. I have been wanting a copper mod and couldnt pass it up for the price so now its just a waiting game to see how long its gonna take and how good the quality of the mod is gonna be.
Welcome and be careful. That's how I started out with FC and this forum, couldn't resist one of their group buys. I can tell you they are a good outfit with excellent customer service and the members here are very knowledgeable and helpful. They are also very good at causing temptation. Only been here a very few short weeks and I'm on my third order.

I can't speak to that specific mod, but what I have received from them has been good, and if there is a problem they will take care of you.

Oh dayum! You are already an official "playa", who knew? :unsure: .. of course you can share your porn here, you did at least buy the drip tips from FC, and I would like to see the rest of your collection. :) .. And yes, some 350 love just for me would be awesome! :banana:

Wouldn't consider myself a "playa", just been at this for a little while so my collection is slowly growing ;) I'm finicky with my mod choices and it takes me a bit till I actually pull the trigger and order, but when I do I go full bore :)

I've just tried a few of the new tips on a couple mods in 350 mode, gotta admit that I didn't like the longer glass tips on them at first, but now that I have been staring at them for awhile they're growing on me. Guess they just look different than what my old eyes are use to seeing daily ;)

:laugh: You're so ...... turning my crap back on me! :lol: It is a nice deal, but I am not totally in love with the Nemesis, but at this price I guess I could justify it as a collectors item. :unsure:
I can take it, but when I'm in the right mood I can dish it out too :) Honestly I like the Nemmy because it's the only non telescopic that will fit a kick nicely, and I use kicks frequently. I like the consistency without having to change batteries when I'm using 350's at work.

BTW nice review on the 4nine. If I had nipples I would be tempted :D

Quit being modest, you have 14 mechs, that is playa status my friend ;-) .. I also thought the tips looked longer than how they appeared in the listing, but the glass looks nice and thick, not fragile. I think they recently put up some glass/ss with look shorter ... I think :unsure: .. :laugh:

I have yet to try a kick in my mechs .. it makes sense that you would want that regulated output during work. And thank you re: my review :) .... I have nipples :D

Yea, the tips are a bit longer that what I had envisioned, but I think I like them now ;)
You had to tell me that they were shorter versions available now....ugh...LOL Here we go again :D

Heres what I came up with for now on a couple 18350 choices after rearranging a few attys around ;)

Put them in the middle next to my Valkyrie in 18650 mode and a 18650 battery for size comparison.
Might just sport these at work tomorrow, just gotta remember to take a few extra batteries :D

That Valkyrie looks soooo :drool: I have always loved the sleek line, and overall aesthetic of the Valkyrie. I wish they would create a RBA hybrid with these lines, the Armada is the closet I have seen to it. I'm loving your Vela too, I like the mixed with the brushed ss, I have a mixed with polished ss.

Very nice Drifter, you didn't disappoint. :D

Thanks Nikki, coming from you that means a lot. ;)
Looks like we might have similar tastes in mods :D

(Putting on my "enabler" shoes again...)

You WANT the Valkyrie Nikki!
You NEED the Valkyrie....
You must BUY the Valkyrie,

Why???

Because it's soooo so nice :D :D :D

And I meant it most sincerely too ") .. yes, it would seem that our tastes are similar, which makes you a potentially more dangerous enabler :laugh: ... I think the game has turned on me, you and halfempty are putting the clamp down! :laugh:

I guess I had it coming? :unsure:

I have been thinking about getting one of the clone DNA 30 watt box mods for a few weeks and I now see FC has them in the New Arrivals section for $56. They have added a third picture tonight that shows the drip well at the 510 connection making it clear that there is no seam located there. This appears to be better than the one with the seam in the drip well which juice can leak through.
Does anyone have a clue who is the manufacturer of these mods?
I have seen where there has been some failures with the boards in some of the DNA 30 watt clones that others have received from other sellers. I think this is to be expected with a new electronic system such as this.
I may have to order one of these and take a chance on it being good. At least I will have FC backing up my purchase.
What are your thoughts on this clone? Is now the time to order or should I wait awhile to let them work out any "bugs"?

If you investigate the Evolv DNA you will find plenty of chips that have prematurely died.

Yes, I agree there have been problems with the Evolv chips for sure.
I have been reading the ECF threads on the clones tonight and it appears that Cloupor has made some hardware and electronic upgrades to the DNA 30 watt clones that they make in the last week or two. They state that they have fixed the oversized 510 positive contact and the issue with having to press the fire button twice when the mod has gone in "sleep" mode along with other problems.
This is why I wonder who is making the clones that FC is selling. They sure look like the one by Cloupor.
I am currently building a box mod with the SX350 chip that will use two 18650 batteries, but I was looking at the clone FC is selling due to it being smaller than mine is going to be.
I think I could fit a SX350 chip in the DNA 30 watt mod from FC if it did fail.
